Atopy Network - Comprehensive Allergy Centers: Medical Care of Patients With Moderate to Severe Allergic Diseases

The prevalence of atopic disorders increased in the western countries within the past decades. Atopic disorders are among others: food allergy, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, chronic spontaneous urticaria, eosinophilic esophagitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. Seriously affected patients often have coexisting atopic disorders. In fact, 60-75% of the patients with a severe atopic dermatitis also suffer from an allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and 40-50% from bronchial asthma. This leads to a decreased quality of life (LG) especially in seriously affected patients. The treatment of atopic disorders is not standardized yet. The Atopy Registry should promote the creation of a Germany-wide registry for different atopic disorders.Furthermore, the registry should characterize the medical care of patients with atopic disorders (patient satisfaction, therapy order, treatment success). This study serves as a longterm observation und is designed to compare different systemic therapies, since head-to-head studies regarding the efficacy are still missing. The analysis of biomaterial is involved to state possible correlations between endotype and phenotype.
